The Dallas Stars announced this morning that they have signed left-handed defenseman Emil Djuse on a one-year entry-level contract. Djuse is already 25, thus the one-year ELC. He played the past three seasons with Skelleftea AIK in Sweden.
Based on blue line depth in Dallas and his experience level, I would expect to see him in Cedar Park in the fall.
Here's the release:

Dallas Stars General Manager Jim Nill announced today that the club has signed defenseman Emil Djuse to a one-year, entry-level contract.
Djuse, 25, spent the 2018-19 season with Skelleftea AIK of the Swedish Elite League. He registered 21 points (3-18=21) in 50 games, recording career-highs in points (21) and assists (18).

The blueliner qualified for the postseason in all three campaigns with Skelleftea and has posted four assists (0-4=4) in 20 postseason contests.
Prior to his time with Skelleftea, Djuse spent two seasons with MODO (2014-15, 2015-16) and two seasons with Frolunda (2013-14, 2014-15). The defenseman registered 85 points (21-64=85) and 158 penalty minutes in 252 career Swedish Elite League games over seven seasons.
